(SR4) Sony to NOT announce any new product on the September 25 conference. Wait till October…

Share

Next Tuesday at 10am Berlin time Sony will have a one hour press conference. The same trusted sources that correctly gave us the 24mm GM lens rumors confirmed that we shouldn’t expect any new product announcement (camera or lens). Sony unofficially told journalists to wait til October to see some new stuff.

We know from trusted sources that Sony has three products ready for the launch: Sony A7III, Sony High End APS-C cameras and the 135mm FE GM. Now let’s see what they will announce in October…

One more thing: On September 25 Panasonic-Leica-Sigma will announce their partnership on the SL-mount FF system camera. I suspect this one is going to be a more advanced proposition than the Canon EOS-R or Nikon Z7. Will be interesting to follow the event!

Here you have the leaked specs of the upcoming five new Sigma lenses. And we have some bad news. The zooms will NOT be available for E-mount right from the start. Remember that Sigma said it would take more time for them to adapt zoom lenses on E-mount because of the more complex autofocus algorithm:

You can finally preorder the new Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM at Bhphoto. Adorama. Amazon USA. BuyDig. FocusCamera. Calumet Germany. WexUK. P.S.: The Sony A7III is now in Stock at Adorama (Click here).

I know we were hoping to see a lot more than just one lens. But that said the new 24mm GM is truly amazing. It’s compact and super sharp. It’s one lens I am considering to buy now although I would prefer to have a 21mm focal length with the same speed…

And here is a nice video to watch. Ted Forbes highlights what’s so special with the new 24mm GM lens and the Sony lens technology in general:
